A fast but tough read about the author's experience with an abusive partner. Read trigger warnings. 
The writing is so well done and this is the second book I've read from the author.

3.5

The book was Machado's experience of abuse in a lesbian relationship alternating with mini essays and tangents which I skipped. I was more interested in reading about her relationship.
